California Santa Cruz Mountains, Santa Clara and Monterey Wine Touring Guide

Welcome to my California Santa Cruz Mountains, Santa Clara and Monterey Wine Touring Guide. This page is continually being updated. Any errors are probably my typing. I've been enjoying wine touring in the area for a number of years and figured I'd pass on some information. This page is ENTIRELY Non-Commercial! I have no connection to any winery except as a happy consumer and occasional visitor. I hope you enjoy visiting some of these places on your search for the pleasure of wine. Hey...tell 'em SteveO sent you. 

This area has some very nice tasting rooms. Some of them can be tricky to find so a good map will come in handy. Check the wine associations pages for maps. This area makes some very nice Pinot Noir and Chardonnay as well as other varietals. 

Any feedback is welcome at my address at otruba@californiawineryguide.com
